I am planning to switch my optional.
Anthropology earlier. Got 263(2017), 281(2018), 217(2019).
My last attempt totally went down the drain due to anthro despite having decent gs+ essay scores. I didn't expect this low score in anthro and worst part is I got to know it 1 year post mains. This year also p1 is like too tough. I am feeling outlook for anthropology very gloomy, due to fact that every second person is taking it , upsc is hell bent on butchering it.
Since notification is around, and have very less time. Is it good decision to give up optional. In case, is there any optional that can be covered in this gap till next attempt. I'm thinking PSIR or Sociology???
@Neyawn Yes.. Long back in 2017, when I was giving my first mains.
It's a popular choice now thanks to good results and inflated scores of 2017s and 2018s.
Anthropology is a good optional. And I spent good number of attempts on it. This year's result is not out yet.. But as you know.. By the time results are out, we don't have much scope to make changes. So I need to take a call now.
Yes.. I need to find a senior like mitochondria, who can shed some light
